1. I like to play games, all sorts: Card games, dice games, board games, computer games, role playing games, table top miniatures etc. And I have gotten great joy through the years from these games. Kim also enjoys playing games, it is one of the things we have in common. Well lately James has started to learn to play games. From the basic Candyland or Chutes a& Ladders on up. Well last week I taught him to play Crazy 8's, and he has really taken to it. I can remember many hours of fun playing Crazy 8's with my Grandmother Ruch, then Yahtzee and Scrabble as I got older. And Kim has similar memories of her grandparents. So I think it is an important thing that we are taking the time to pass this pleasurable hobby along to our children.
2. Well the NFL preseason is in full swing which means one thing: Fantasy football is ready to start. And once again I am running a league, and joining another one. Every year I vow that it will be my last year of fantasy football, and every year I end up playing again. Fantasy football presents an odd challenge for the big fans, becuase it can water down your fanaticism about your NFL team in favor of your fantasy team. Which can get frustrating at the end of the season if your NFL team is doing well because you can find yourself simultaneously rooting for your NFL team and for players on the other team because you have them on your fantasy team. And if your fantasy team and NFL team both do poorly it can be a double emotional downer. But it's addictive, so I am back into it again this year.
